homemade shells & cheese

Happy Tax Day! This recipe is one modified from the famous Rauhauser macaroni & cheese that my mom & both aunts make for many family get-togethers. I forgot to take pictures as I was cooking the other night, but am sitting here eating (leftovers for breakfast!!!) & it's so good I couldn't not share. Enjoy!

after draining pasta, add it to casserole dish, mix until shells are sufficiently covered in cheesy, tofu-y goop

sprinkle blue cheese over the top (if you're not a blue cheese fan, grated Parmesan works well too)

cover with casserole lid or aluminum foil

bake for about 45 minutes, taking top off for last 10 if you prefer crunchiness on the top layer

the results:Cheesy goodness great for dinner, easily reheated for lunches (& breakfast if you're as strange as me) & something my toddler (& husband, for that matter!) digs into like nobody's business.
